Iraq Pros And Cons

In 2003, President George Walker Bush and his administration sent the United States military to war in Iraq to overthrow Saddam Hussein, Iraq’s ruler and dictator, who murdered over 600,000 innocent people, and “...used chemical weapons to remove Kurds from their villages in northern Iraq…” (Rosenberg 2). According to the Department of Defense’s website, the war removed Saddam Hussein from power, ending an era when “Iraqis had fewer rights than when its representatives signed the Human Rights Declaration in 1948” (1). American blood, money, and honor was spent in what was allegedly a personal war and perhaps a fight to gain oil and natural resources, but only history may reveal the truth. Although the Iraq War removed tyrant Saddam Hussein from power, the failures of the war dwarf the successes.

There are defining moments in American society; the attack on Pearl Harbor, Space Shuttle Challenger explosion, 11 September 2001. On 19 March 2003, I was watching television with my parents while I was working on a school project for debate class. Oddly enough, the debate the following school day was to be about whether or not the global war on terrorism should expand to Iraq. Then President George W. Bush announced to the nation, “My fellow citizens, at this hour American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger (CNN, 2003).” On that day a coalition of over 35 counties led by the United States of America began what we know today as Operation Iraqi Freedom. The more you research about Operation Iraqi Freedom the more you tend to realize that it began well before 19 March 2003. It dates back to the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980’s and it continues well past 18 December 2011, the day the last troop left Iraq. Operation Iraqi Freedom continues through

November 4, 1979: a date to live forever. In Tehran, the capital of Iran, a demonstration turned hostile when a group of students storm over the walls of the U.S. Embassy and take 90 people, hostage, including 66 Americans. This was the beginning of the Iranian revolution, creating an Islamic Republic under the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

What group would most of those living in the United States identify as the largest international threat? Many people would very likely immediately think of an organization that is heard throughout informative broadcastings quite often in the American society. An example of a group that the average American citizen would think to could often be what is commonly known as ISIS, or the “Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.” When an American individual hears this name, a thought of insecurity might surface as he or she might recall all the terrible things that many people have seen on the media that describes this group. There are many international threats in the Middle East that the American people do not know much about, however education could be the ultimate method to defeating these groups or organizations that exist.

During the year 2014, ISIS was created and ever since their creation they have caused terror like no other group on the planet. They had captured large areas of Iraq and Syria over the period of two years, captured many military grade weapons to increase their power, and recruits more people to join and help their “cause”. Their recruitment numbers have been increasing as well, due to their spreading influence “A 20-year-old Ohio man was arrested Monday on suspicion of trying to join ISIS, the Department of Justice said”(Yan 1). Also with this increase, they have also got their hands on weapons, such as heavy artillery guns/howitzers , mines, mortars, and etc,even using water as a weapon. What this has resulted in, is they can use this to their

The U.S. led strike against Iraq will not (and has not) resulted in similar wars against other dangerous regimes. When internationally accepted laws are believed not to be being upheld by participating countries it is up to the UN to intervene and deal out consequences. After the horrendous attacks in America on September 11th there was a renewal of arm inspections in Iraq. Because of their refusal to cooperate, Iraq was eventually invaded by the United States and Great Britain through the UN council in 2003, “The war began with massive air raids; sections of Baghdad were the primary targets”(The Americans). The invasion of Iraq in no way causes (or caused) similar wars against other threatening regimes. There is no correlations, instead

This dissertation intended to investigate the unintended consequences of the U.S. approach towards Iraq in the invasion of 2003. To attain this objective, aspects including the reason for invading Iraq were analysed by the use of realist and liberal theories. The theoretical discussion aimed to provide a combination of a neo-conservative theory in which represented the emotion of fearing a threat and the willingness to intervene to democratise Iraq for the purpose of homeland security. As a result with the help of neo-conservative theory, it showed that the policy of pre-emption determined the whole path for the Second Gulf war. In addition, the root causes of terrorism were analysed, to provide an understanding for the rise of ISIS, despite

The purpose of this paper is to look at Iraq’s current; political, military, economic, information, infrastructure, physical environment, and time. Outlining the future struggles this young Islamic, democratic, federal parliamentary republic will face in its’ truly turbulent area. Their future role in the stabilization of the region, and their importance to the US as a regional ally.

“The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been a tragedy, a clash between one very powerful, very convincing, very painful claim over this land and another no less powerful, no less convincing claim,” (Oz, Amos). This conflict has been one that has lasted multiple decades and continues to be a hotbed for controversial opinions and arguments. One pressing issue in today’s time is whether or not the United States should continue to support what seems like a never-ending conflict. The United States Government should continue to pressure Israel into a two-state solution in order to reap the benefits, which include the creation of democratic nations in the Middle East, improved relations with bordering countries, and a decrease in violence.

It will likely be decades before the Iranian Deal can be properly evaluated. It will be judged on whether it succeeded in its aim of preventing a nuclear Iran, whether preventing that was worth possible losses to American interests in the Middle East anyhow, and whether a better solution to the threat of a nuclear Iran should have been pursued instead.

The two-year-long Iraqi invasion of Islamic Republic of Iran can only be deemed another futile attempt by the Iraqi dictatorial regime to further their hegemony over Arabia and Persia.

Abstract: Because Iraq's economy deteriorated, many people died. The US and other countries did not help for the second time (Iraq - Kuwait war). After the war, Iraq was forced to get out from Kuwait. The UN imposed sanctions on the 6th of August 1990 because Iraq invaded Kuwait. Iraq was ordered to withdraw but it refused. Then the war followed and continued for 42 days and Iraq had to pull out of Kuwait. The sanctions continued were until 2003. In the mid-1990s the UN allowed the Iraqi government to sell oil to buy food and medicine and supply it to the people. However, the people continued to suffer because the oil for food and medicine program was not efficient. The Iraqi government used to say that that money was not enough. It asked the UN to end the sanctions. The UN said Iraq had enough money but it was not buying food and

The Persian Gulf is home to nearly all the Middle Eastern supply of crude oil, and contains the largest offshore oil field in the world, the ‘Safaniya Oil Field’ as it is known, is regarded with so much value, that the US spent over 8 trillion USD attempting to protect it. [3] The US also used other huge amounts of military expenditure to protect inland oil fields within Iraq, and promised the Iraqi oil sector 2.05 billion USD in order to fully modernize the oil drilling apparatus. However, according to other international sources, it could take up to 100 billion USD of US money to fully complete the long-term reconstruction of the Iraqi oil industry. [4]
